The following information was recently brought from Las Vegas by a friend. The following "Odds to win NCAA Men's Ice Hockey 1988 Championship @Boston, MA Saturday, April 4, 1988" are available at Ballys Race and Sports Book in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Either put up or shut up" has been a favorite saying of mine, and it appears lots of people need to shut up. And of course, the following is offered for entertainment purposes only. However, another friend of mine has been dispatched to Sin City with $120 of my hard earned money to dispense in equal amounts on Maine and the Field to win in Boston; Manchester United to win the E.U.F.A. Champions League; and Brazil, England, and England to win the World Cup.
